Abstract

The Article investigates whether creative works produced via machine learning algorithms qualify for copyright protection. Previous research into this question has been largely theoretical. By contrast, the Article introduces four empirical case studies of works produced via machine learning. The Article examines the copyrightability of such works under U.S., E.U., and U.K., law. The Article concludes that such works are sufficiently original to qualify for copyright protection. This conclusion casts into doubt prior literature that finds works of machine learning algorithms to be outside the scope of copyright protection.
